Unity a taster
I intend to introduce Unity in my Visual Arts Studio module due to the necessity to have less physical presence in the classroom. I though creating a 3D gallery with unity would be a fantastic opportunity to let students showcase their previous work and learn new tools and new skills.

Teaching plan year 9 introduction 10 weeks
This is my idea to teach my year 9 game course. I have added a little extra time. I would like to develop the VR but as yet we do not have any of the technology so may swap this section out for a more creative free range (with boundaries) task. Fortunately I still have till at least March to we start.
